Haven’t you noticed this, Monika? Any thread he creates is always trying to cause tribal conflicts.

You can’t let this guy continue because he might become a big problem that will harm innocent people.

I’m a woman. Facts are stubborn. No one is trying to cause any tribal conflicts. You know I’m saying the truth. This thing can’t happen in the East and you know it.

I am too big, too amazing, too exposed, too traveled and too refined to engage in meaningless lies or argument.


I said I am not telling you guys hearsay or them say, I am telling you fact that happened during 2023 Presidential election.


My uncle that was a Labor Party LGA Chairman even raised the alarm that how will they defend their votes for LP if they cannot fill up the leadership positions, and also complained bitterly about Southwesterners and Lagos indigenes refusing to accept leadership positions in Labor Party.


The whole thing got him so amazed that his mentality about SWners changed because he is almost like a Yoruba man bearing Igbo name. He aligns more with Southwesterners cos he lived there for decades and made so many friends. He was shocked how they were turning down to join LP and to take up leadership position in LP, something you guys were also bragging about openly on various online platforms calling LP 1pob party, so how come u guys are now expecting to hold leadership position in a party most of you vehemently rejected the moment Peter Obi emerged its Presidential candidate? Abi them go waybill the leadership positions to you guys doorsteps? Honestly I dont understand where u guys stand anymore, it is well sha

I am equally telling you that in same 23 I have several yoruba that contested on LP platform so your assertion is quite different from what I know.

Nigerians NDC is officially an ndigbo party, beware.

I am not disputing your own words, you maybe right, but I am telling you what I witnessed firsthand which is even an open knowledge to every Nigerian based on what happened in 2023 and how Lagos APC changed the whole electioneering era to a tribal war

They OVERDO too Much.. That’s their Biggest Problem! You Can Imagine such Nonsense!

Shivisee1:
In a southwest state ! this is wrong in all shades. Someone need to enlighten these people how things are done unless it will always come to sabotage them.

ResidentSnitch:
Learn how to do simple deductive reasoning. It's not that hard. Are suggesting that NDC should go about forcing people to join the party or that any non-Igbo interested in joining the party is rejected?

I’m saying only indigene or yorubas should contest. Why is non indigene or non yoruba trying to contest? Can you do that in the East?

Your generalisation is what people like me are having a problem with,from the onset I never said you were lieing but only stated that its not same around me and the people I know......your inference cant be far fetched in an area with high organic igbo population.

Evelynluv20:
Call them and let them tell us if this is a igbo party. What are they trying to achieve?

Stop being petty, Amuwo Odufin is over 90% Igbo, why don't you post those of other Yoruba dominated areas??

All the people you listed out there are Nigerians , worthy citizens of Nigeria, the party is a Nigerian party.

Please stop tribalistic sentiments and promote national unity.

Since they fear their master Tinubu to the point of trying to avoid the party, tell me why anyone should wait for them?

They are free to continue to be in the carcass of APC

franchasofficia:
Op, the indigenes of Lagos are to be blamed because they refused to join the party for fear of Tinubu and due to their close minded nature whereby they refuse to see good in anything political being led by Southeasterner.


They did it in 2023, many of them refused to join LP saying its a dead party, its an Igbo party, its 1p0b party, etc.


Prior to 2023 election, my uncle who was an Labour Party LGA Chairman kept begging some of the few Lagos indigenes that managed to join LP to please become their ward Chairmen and even polling unit agents, they all rejected saying they dont want wahala from their people, at the end, it was mostly people from Southeast, Southsouth and NorthCentral that agreed to take up those positions in Labor Party then, now who is to be blamed?


Now do you expect the party to go to their homes to force them and give them positions just to satisfy people like you?

Even if u write from now till tomorrow, those bigots won't even listen to what u said....they have made up dia minds about Obi.....even if it's just Hausas, they will still frame Obi whereas Obi is not d holder of d party

franchasofficia:
You and your people know the truth, but make una continue, God alone knows the truth, I dont want to go further before nl ban me.

The Umaiha faction of LP decided to appoint Obidients to assume exco positions within their faction across states in the polity.
In SW and Lagos, the Umaiha faction which Giringori belonged to decided to select and annoint only Ibos to positions to much displeasure by the Yoruba Buts in the obidients.

The Yoruba-Buts complained to a deaf Giringori and when nothing was done to address this anamoly of appointing Ibos over Yorubas to be excos in Yoruba land, most of the Yoruba-Buts left the LP and Obidient movement.

Let me ask you where were these Ibo volunteers that you claim assumed responsibilty because according to you, Yoruba-Buts in the LP and Obidient camp were unwilling to assume responsible roles in the LP and obidient camp, why did these same Ibo volunteers not fill the 90,000 gap in Polling Units agents across the North for the LP?

As I always use to tell you guys, you can only decieve yourslves.

Thanks for the explanation, I never really thought of it that way sha.

I can fully understand why "they don't want dere pipo wàhálà" when they take a step back from participating fully.

Thanks to Obidients, this is now happening that never did. During the times of Owelle's NPP, Adeniran Ogunsanya and other Yoruba people especially from Ikorodu played a prominent part in the party at all levels.

Who were the most vocal champions of Giringori if not the Yoruba-Buts who gave LP a false National appeal even though it had at its core an Ibo agenda?

Some one is even justifying that the area is home to 90% Ibos so thats why Ibos are rushing to fill the excos which translates that Ibos see NDC as an Ibo party.

Also we saw how LP in the last election was giving their slots in Lagos to mostly Ibos.

Every House of Rep, state rep and senatorial position went to Ibos.

Are Ibos also dominating every local govt and subhurb in Lagos stae?

The Sardunna was right about these people.

do you want to be one of them?

I believe being a member of a party is not the same as ordinary voting for them or even seeking elective or principle office.

I can see your point, it looks bad but flip the coin and see that, maybe for the first time ever, the Obidient franchasofficia might have a point.

The LP Lagos state exco situation last time was a forceful takeover because Chinedu Gbadebo brought "his people" (some would say on more ways than one) in.

If I remember rightly, they had two factions that fought for control and the existing Yoruba one lost. That was pure and reckless straight up tribalistic banditry, riding high on a need to give President Tinubu a bloody nose in Lagos state, and might be a different scenario to this.

Anyway I should never be in a position where I am defending Obidients so I think I would just stop now.

They played part back then because no prominent and formidable Igbo man emerged to challenge any of the Southwest political demigod like Bola Tinubu, please understand this.


They are not happy that Peter Obi a Southeasterner is trying to change the status quo of becoming President, to them its a taboo. Igbos can support other tribes to emerge President no problem, they dont have a problem with that, but an Igbo man coming out to challenge their own person in a Presidential election and then Igbos massively support him, for what na? That is crossing their wishful redline

If i may ask, now where is the Labour party?

Dont you now see that; they all made good decision for rejecting the offers that will not stand the test of time.

The text in my post gave a wrong impression of things and I have corrected it.

A lot of Yorùbá's voted for Peter Obí, in fact a lot of Nigerians want an Ndigbo president but it won't happen with the atrocious bullying behaviour of Obidients, never.

The hope is Bianca or Prof Soludo will rule us despite being hated by Obidients in much the same way President Obasanjo ruled Nigeria against the wishes of a good chunk of his tribesmen

There wouldn't have been Buhari or Tinubu or APC if Goodluck Jonathan played the kind of banditry politics that Bola Ahmed Tinubu playing with the Presidential powers he has today.


Tinubu destroyed most if not all viable opposition parties just because he doesn't want Peter Obi to have a formidable political platform to challenge him in 2027.

Evelynluv20:
what’s Yoruba but?

He is mocking the "Yoruba but" liberals who have empowered their bitter enemies with their over-accomodating 'wokeness' in Yoruba land others will never extend to Yorubas in their region.

are you aware that Obidients are mostly not Igbos?

I am well aware that Obidients are overwhelmingly Ndigbo.

Not true, Amuwo Odofin is no more than 30% give or take 5% Igbo. A lot of South South people are there too.

Strenght of Strategist lies in his ability to take responsibily for his action or inaction and also able to manage the situation and thriving agaisnt all odds.

Not running away at the sight of any issues and keep pointing accusing fingers.

I’m saying only indigene or yorubas should contest. Why is non indigene or non yoruba trying to contest? Can you do that in the East?

What you should push for is constitution change. Lagos contains more population than the SE. It contains 23 million people and the SE is around 19 million people according to all available data including NIN, voter registration, active sim card and etc. Lagos should have at least 18 senators against the SE''s 15 and 55 reps against the SE, ''s 45 and it will be fair for anybody to contest in Lagos and anywhere in Nigeria. Saying people should not contest is just fighting the wrong battle because as long as there is one Nigeria such can never work. There are claims that Anambra alone contains 500k Yoruba and you can advise them to become active there too to even things up

The LASG need to do a census so that there can be real statistics to work with. For now, anybody can make any claim like there are five million Igbos in Lagos or there are 500k Yoruba in Onitsha etc

jchioma:
Power is not served a la carte". Political influence, leadership, or authority is rarely given freely or easily; it must be fought for, earned, and taken through, according to Bola Tinubu.

Nobody is going to anyone’s house to hand over positions of power. As usual, those indigenes that could be interested are afraid of stigmatization from their fellow tribesmen. If they had indicated interest and desire for the newly formed party, they would have been given preference.

It's the correct use of a la carte for me. It's perfect.
